Knife Block Makeover

I have been seeing this idea floating around the craft blogs recently, but it was Beckie at Infarrantly Creative that kick-started this project when she offered to send me some vinyl!

So...please don't judge me for my dirt! Cleaning the knife block is not high on my list of priorities right now!

Step one of this project was to c-l-e-a-n the knifeblock! I just used fantastic cleaner and dishsoap.

I've really been trying to do projects this summer that don't cost any money.....so, I had some gray primer in my closet and that's what got used!

This spring I redid my kitchen with some beadboard wallpaper and new paint, so I decided to keep my knife block lighter......I had contemplated doing Oil Rubbed Bronze, but changed my mind for the Oregano green that I already had on-hand.

The best part of the whole project beside the fact that it was free??? The vinyl from Beckie! Thanks so much.....I love it!!

About

Most crafty Mom's send their children on the yellow bus and craft all day....well, mine go into the basement where we have created our own schoolroom and I try to craft in the midst of the craziness.....
God called our family into a great adventure called homeschooling, so decorating costs were not in our budget...that is until I discovered the treasures hiding at the Goodwill and a creative community of women who have turned "trash" into beauty!
Enjoy my attempt at making the world a prettier place all while spending very little money!
